<span id="s-topics-settings"></span><span id="django-settings"></span><span id="topics-settings"></span><h1>Django settings<a class="headerlink" href="#django-settings" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
<p>A Django settings file contains all the configuration of your Django
installation. This document explains how settings work and which settings are
available.</p>
<div class="section" id="s-the-basics">
<span id="the-basics"></span><h2>The basics<a class="headerlink" href="#the-basics" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>A settings file is just a Python module with module-level variables.</p>
<p>Here are a couple of example settings:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="n">DEBUG</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="bp">False</span>
<span class="n">DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s">'webmaster@example.com'</span>
<span class="n">TEMPLATE_DIRS</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="p">(</span><span class="s">'/home/templates/mike'</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s">'/home/templates/john'</span><span class="p">)</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Because a settings file is a Python module, the following apply:</p>
<ul>
<li><p class="first">It doesn't allow for Python syntax errors.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">It can assign settings dynamically using normal Python syntax.
For example:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="n">MY_SETTING</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="p">[</span><span class="nb">str</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">i</span><span class="p">)</span> <span class="k">for</span> <span class="n">i</span> <span class="ow">in</span> <span class="nb">range</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="mf">30</span><span class="p">)]</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
</li>
<li><p class="first">It can import values from other settings files.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="section" id="s-designating-the-settings">

<p>When you use Django, you have to tell it which settings you're using. Do this
by using an environment variable, <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE</span></tt>.</p>
<p>The value of <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE</span></tt> should be in Python path syntax, e.g.
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">mysite.settings</span></tt>. Note that the settings module should be on the
Python <a class="reference external" href="http://diveintopython.org/getting_to_know_python/everything_is_an_object.html">import search path</a>.</p>
<div class="section" id="s-the-django-admin-py-utility">
<span id="the-django-admin-py-utility"></span><h3>The django-admin.py utility<a class="headerlink" href="#the-django-admin-py-utility" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>When using <a class="reference external" href="http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.0/ref/django-admin/#ref-django-admin"><em>django-admin.py</em></a>, you can either set the
environment variable once, or explicitly pass in the settings module each time
you run the utility.</p>
<p>Example (Unix Bash shell):</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=mysite.settings
django-admin.py runserver</pre>
</div>
<p>Example (Windows shell):</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>set DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=mysite.settings
django-admin.py runserver</pre>
</div>
<p>Use the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--settings</span></tt> command-line argument to specify the settings manually:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>django-admin.py runserver --settings=mysite.settings</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="section" id="s-on-the-server-mod-python">
<span id="on-the-server-mod-python"></span><h3>On the server (mod_python)<a class="headerlink" href="#on-the-server-mod-python" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>In your live server environment, you'll need to tell Apache/mod_python which
settings file to use. Do that with <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">SetEnv</span></tt>:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>&lt;Location "/mysite/"&gt;
    SetHandler python-program
    PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython
    SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE mysite.settings
&lt;/Location&gt;</pre>
</div>

<div class="section" id="s-default-settings">
<span id="default-settings"></span><h2>Default settings<a class="headerlink" href="#default-settings" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>A Django settings file doesn't have to define any settings if it doesn't need
to. Each setting has a sensible default value. These defaults live in the
module <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">django/conf/global_settings.py</span></tt>.</p>
<p>Here's the algorithm Django uses in compiling settings:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Load settings from <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">global_settings.py</span></tt>.</li>
<li>Load settings from the specified settings file, overriding the global
settings as necessary.</li>
</ul>
<p>Note that a settings file should <em>not</em> import from <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">global_settings</span></tt>, because
that's redundant.</p>
<div class="section" id="s-seeing-which-settings-you-ve-changed">
<span id="seeing-which-settings-you-ve-changed"></span><h3>Seeing which settings you've changed<a class="headerlink" href="#seeing-which-settings-you-ve-changed" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>There's an easy way to view which of your settings deviate from the default
settings. The command <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">python</span> <span class="pre">manage.py</span> <span class="pre">diffsettings</span></tt> displays differences
between the current settings file and Django's default settings.</p>
<p>For more, see the <a class="reference external" href="http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.0/ref/django-admin/#djadmin-diffsettings"><tt class="xref docutils literal"><span class="pre">diffsettings</span></tt></a> documentation.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="section" id="s-using-settings-in-python-code">
<span id="using-settings-in-python-code"></span><h2>Using settings in Python code<a class="headerlink" href="#using-settings-in-python-code" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>In your Django apps, use settings by importing the object
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">django.conf.settings</span></tt>. Example:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>from django.conf import settings

if settings.DEBUG:
    # Do something</pre>
</div>
<p>Note that <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">django.conf.settings</span></tt> isn't a module -- it's an object. So
importing individual settings is not possible:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="k">from</span> <span class="nn">django.conf.settings</span> <span class="k">import</span> <span class="n">DEBUG</span>  <span class="c"># This won't work.</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Also note that your code should <em>not</em> import from either <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">global_settings</span></tt> or
your own settings file. <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">django.conf.settings</span></tt> abstracts the concepts of
default settings and site-specific settings; it presents a single interface.
It also decouples the code that uses settings from the location of your
settings.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="s-altering-settings-at-runtime">
<span id="altering-settings-at-runtime"></span><h2>Altering settings at runtime<a class="headerlink" href="#altering-settings-at-runtime" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>You shouldn't alter settings in your applications at runtime. For example,
don't do this in a view:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="k">from</span> <span class="nn">django.conf</span> <span class="k">import</span> <span class="n">settings</span>

<span class="n">settings</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">DEBUG</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="bp">True</span>   <span class="c"># Don't do this!</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>The only place you should assign to settings is in a settings file.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="s-security">
<span id="security"></span><h2>Security<a class="headerlink" href="#security" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>Because a settings file contains sensitive information, such as the database
password, you should make every attempt to limit access to it. For example,
change its file permissions so that only you and your Web server's user can
read it. This is especially important in a shared-hosting environment.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="s-available-settings">
<span id="available-settings"></span><h2>Available settings<a class="headerlink" href="#available-settings" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>For a full list of available settings, see the <a class="reference external" href="http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.0/ref/settings/#ref-settings"><em>settings reference</em></a>.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="s-creating-your-own-settings">
<span id="creating-your-own-settings"></span><h2>Creating your own settings<a class="headerlink" href="#creating-your-own-settings" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>There's nothing stopping you from creating your own settings, for your own
Django apps. Just follow these conventions:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Setting names are in all uppercase.</li>
<li>Don't reinvent an already-existing setting.</li>
</ul>
<p>For settings that are sequences, Django itself uses tuples, rather than lists,
but this is only a convention.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="s-using-settings-without-setting-django-settings-module">
<span id="s-settings-without-django-settings-module"></span><span id="using-settings-without-setting-django-settings-module"></span><span id="settings-without-django-settings-module"></span><h2>Using settings without setting DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE<a class="headerlink" href="#using-settings-without-setting-django-settings-module" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>In some cases, you might want to bypass the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE</span></tt>
environment variable. For example, if you're using the template system by
itself, you likely don't want to have to set up an environment variable
pointing to a settings module.</p>
<p>In these cases, you can configure Django's settings manually. Do this by
calling:</p>
<dl class="function">
<dt id="django.conf.settings.configure">
<!--[django.conf.settings.configure]--><tt class="descclassname">django.conf.settings.</tt><tt class="descname">configure</tt>(<em>default_settings</em>, <em>**settings</em>)<a class="headerlink" href="#django.conf.settings.configure" title="Permalink to this definition">¶</a></dt>
<dd></dd></dl>

<p>Example:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="k">from</span> <span class="nn">django.conf</span> <span class="k">import</span> <span class="n">settings</span>

<span class="n">settings</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">configure</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">DEBUG</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="bp">True</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">TEMPLATE_DEBUG</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="bp">True</span><span class="p">,</span>
    <span class="n">TEMPLATE_DIRS</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s">'/home/web-apps/myapp'</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s">'/home/web-apps/base'</span><span class="p">))</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Pass <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">configure()</span></tt> as many keyword arguments as you'd like, with each keyword
argument representing a setting and its value. Each argument name should be all
uppercase, with the same name as the settings described above. If a particular
setting is not passed to <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">configure()</span></tt> and is needed at some later point,
Django will use the default setting value.</p>
<p>Configuring Django in this fashion is mostly necessary -- and, indeed,
recommended -- when you're using a piece of the framework inside a larger
application.</p>
<p>Consequently, when configured via <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">settings.configure()</span></tt>, Django will not
make any modifications to the process environment variables (see the
documentation of <a class="reference external" href="http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.0/ref/settings/#setting-TIME_ZONE"><tt class="xref docutils literal"><span class="pre">TIME_ZONE</span></tt></a> for why this would normally occur). It's
assumed that you're already in full control of your environment in these
cases.</p>
<div class="section" id="s-custom-default-settings">
<span id="custom-default-settings"></span><h3>Custom default settings<a class="headerlink" href="#custom-default-settings" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>If you'd like default values to come from somewhere other than
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">django.conf.global_settings</span></tt>, you can pass in a module or class that
provides the default settings as the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">default_settings</span></tt> argument (or as the
first positional argument) in the call to <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">configure()</span></tt>.</p>
<p>In this example, default settings are taken from <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">myapp_defaults</span></tt>, and the
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">DEBUG</span></tt> setting is set to <tt class="xref docutils literal"><span class="pre">True</span></tt>, regardless of its value in
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">myapp_defaults</span></tt>:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="k">from</span> <span class="nn">django.conf</span> <span class="k">import</span> <span class="n">settings</span>
<span class="k">from</span> <span class="nn">myapp</span> <span class="k">import</span> <span class="n">myapp_defaults</span>

<span class="n">settings</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">configure</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">default_settings</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="n">myapp_defaults</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">DEBUG</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="bp">True</span><span class="p">)</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>The following example, which uses <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">myapp_defaults</span></tt> as a positional argument,
is equivalent:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="n">settings</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">configure</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">myapp_defaults</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">DEBUG</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="bp">True</span><span class="p">)</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Normally, you will not need to override the defaults in this fashion. The
Django defaults are sufficiently tame that you can safely use them. Be aware
that if you do pass in a new default module, it entirely <em>replaces</em> the Django
defaults, so you must specify a value for every possible setting that might be
used in that code you are importing. Check in
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">django.conf.settings.global_settings</span></tt> for the full list.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="s-either-configure-or-django-settings-module-is-required">
<span id="either-configure-or-django-settings-module-is-required"></span><h3>Either configure() or DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE is required<a class="headerlink" href="#either-configure-or-django-settings-module-is-required" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>If you're not setting the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE</span></tt> environment variable, you
<em>must</em> call <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">configure()</span></tt> at some point before using any code that reads
settings.</p>
<p>If you don't set <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE</span></tt> and don't call <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">configure()</span></tt>,
Django will raise an <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">ImportError</span></tt> exception the first time a setting
is accessed.</p>
<p>If you set <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE</span></tt>, access settings values somehow, <em>then</em>
call <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">configure()</span></tt>, Django will raise a <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">RuntimeError</span></tt> indicating
that settings have already been configured.</p>
<p>Also, it's an error to call <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">configure()</span></tt> more than once, or to call
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">configure()</span></tt> after any setting has been accessed.</p>
<p>It boils down to this: Use exactly one of either <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">configure()</span></tt> or
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE</span></tt>. Not both, and not neither.</p>
